उत्तर
- Resonance structures of alkyl aryl ethers are as follows:

- The +R effect of −OR the group results in increased electron density at the para- and two ortho positions.
Hence, the alkoxy group in aromatic ether is a ring activating and ortho/para-directing group towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.
